my truck is a dd right now but i was wondering what would be best for my truck to produce more power and torque? a cold air or a snorkle?

 

if its your daily drive I would go with a cold air. No need for a snorkel just yet. A regualr cold air intake will give you just as much power as a snorkel would. However if you had to drive through a small river to get to work, then I would go with the snorkel. Otherwise go with a K&N cold air intake.

 

ok no rivers just stupid people that cant drive

 

haha yea I figured. The basic point of either a cold air or snorkel is to get a better air flow to your engine. Both would do the job better than a stock air box intake. I want to get a snorkel eventually cuz I think they look sick IMO. I have a cold air on right now. A snorkel requires more modification to the xj because you have to run the air tube from outside the rig to under the hood. I guess it just depends on what you want...

 

yeah true i like the way they look mainly

 

Are you gonna go with a snorkel eventually? If so then I would go snorkel. Cold air intakes are pricey to turn around and put a snorkel on a year later.

 

Very true, my xj came with the cold air...which is falling apart . Cheap brand I guess. Which is why I want the safari snorkel .

 

yeah i will probley end up getting a snorkle cause that what i really want

 

Think before you buy then. Im goin snorkel. Cold air is around $250? Thats alot to throw away . For me anyhow.

 

yeah true

 

cold air intake. mine cost about $30.00 total, well made filter (not APC or Ractive).

If your XJ runs as hot as mine the only way to get cold air is to get that air cleaner out of that engine compartment! Snorkle if it was my choice.

 

Do a hybrid of them both. Do a search on a cowl cold air intake. Just re-route the intake into the cowl (below the front windshield)... its the best of both worlds.

 

ARB snorkel all the way i am going to get mine soon

This is done on a Wrangler I believe but its is an in-line six and a pretty good idea.
